Local Health Services are Extremely Busy

The NHS is also seeing rising cases of COVID, winter vomiting bugs and respiratory (breathing) illnesses. To help prevent avoidable illness, protect vulnerable relatives and friends and ensure that vital NHS services are there for those who need them, local NHS leaders are calling on everyone in our area to follow this advice:

Preference of Practitioner

Whilst registered with us we encourage patients to see any of the doctors and clinical staff. However, you may express a preference for a particular doctor. Once a preference has been indicated we will endeavour to comply with the request. However, there may be times when this is not possible, for example, if the doctor is unavailable, or the services requested are not provided by your preferred doctor.

Should a patient wish to see their preferred doctor then it may result in a longer waiting time for their appointment.
